“I did a thing, “Sheila muttered on the phone, sounding rather sheepish and almost afraid.

I bit my tongue. “What is it?”

“First promise me you won’t get mad, “she replied.

“I will promise no such thing. If you did something to make me mad, I’ll be mad.”

She grumbled something to herself, then took a deep breath.

“Sheila, come on now. Just say it.”

“I may or may not have threatened Lia.”

My jaw clenched. “You did what?”

“It’s not what you think!” she said quickly. “She said that she’s seeing someone else. A human boy. Not you, not Blake.”

“And you threatened her? With what?”

She was silent again for a second.

“Sheila, my patience is really running thin right now,” I seethed.

“Murder,” she said quietly.

“You dared to threaten to kill your future Luna?” I growled, my eyes going black.

“No, no, not her! Him. The boy she said she was seeing! I would never do that, Alpha. I know that’s treachery,” she cried at once.

I calmed down slightly. “Did she mention a name? Did you see her with him?” The thought of it made me want to rip him apart. I couldn’t do it to Blake, because he had an equal right on her. But if any stupid human tried to insert himself into our equation, I wasn’t going to tolerate it.

“No, she didn’t mention a name, and I didn’t see anyone.”

“Then she was bluffing,” I said, as relief filled me. “What exactly did you say to her?”

“I said that if you found out about this boy, you would kill him and throw him in a ditch.

I wanted to bang my head against the wall. “What. Else?” I snapped.

“I said that if you didn’t do it, I would. I would break his spine and then his neck.

Goddess.

“Weren’t you the one who said to be careful, to not scare her?” I asked, gritting my teeth.

“I was.”

“Then why the hell did that thought fly out the window? You realise you might have completely spooked her? She might be feeling afraid of me now?” I asked.

“I—I know, That’s why I’m admitting to what I did. I accept the consequences, Alpha. Whatever punishment you decide–”

“Will start a civil war because my Beta will stand against me.” I cut her off, rolling my eyes.

“That won’t happen, I promise. I deserve punishment, Zane, and I will speak to Aaron beforehand.

I rolled my eyes. “What good will punishing you do?”

“I don’t know.”

“Exactly.” I ran a hand through my hair, pursing my lips. “Is Lia in school right now?”

“Yes. She’s in history.”

“Okay. I’ll get there soon. Until then, if you see her with Blake, listen in to their conversation. We need to be aware of the status

of their relationship at all times. I cannot lose her to him. You understand?”

“Of course I do. I got you, Zane, I promise.”

“Okay.” I hung up the phone, then threw it across the room, letting it break to pieces. I couldn’t believe Sheila had been so stupid. This was so unlike her.

But I knew how she was about mates. How sacred she held the

bond. She lost her mind when Lia mentioned someone else. Now I had to go clean up this mess.

–LIA’S POV–

I purposely took an empty seat which was surrounded by taken ones, not wanting to be approached by any other werewolf for the day. But Blake still made his way up to the seat beside mine, threatening the guy to move. He did, and Blake sat down, staring at me.

I kept my eyes on the board, trying my hardest to listen to the teacher. She was talking about different wars, and how those affected the people who were alive in those times. I wondered if werewolves existed back then. And if they did, did they fight in the wars posing as humans? Did the government know about them, or were they completely secret? They had to have a lot of influential people on their payrolls. Or, if not on their payrolls,

influential people probably too terrified to say a word.

Could you blame them?

These monsters threw out death threats like it was nothing. They threatened to break spines and necks, as if human life had such little value. And why? Just because we were weaker? We were not strong enough to fight back? The entire food chain had always been messed up, but adding them to it had just changed. the dynamics completely. Humans were supposed to be the most dangerous, but now there was a creature which was half human and half beast. One could only imagine what they were capable of.

“Are you okay?” Blake whispered, pulling me from my thoughts. I glanced at him, then looked away again, not responding. I realised my heart beat had gotten quicker just thinking about

them.

“Lia,” he tried again. “Is something bothering you?”

Before I could even consider telling him, Sheila stepped into class, and took a seat towards my back. I knew why she did that. She was keeping an eye on me, since Zane wasn’t at school.

I clenched my jaw, focusing on what the teacher was saying once

more.

Blake turned his head to look at Sheila, then looked at me again.

We were studying about the most major wars now, going into detail about what happened, how tragic they were, and how many people lost their lives, homes and families. I stared down at the text book in front of me, and started to flip the pages, searching for anything that would catch my eye. My gaze fell on the ‘interesting facts‘ section, and my eyes widened when I read the third point:

Following the war, several soldiers exhibited signs of severe psychological distress, reporting encounters with unusual creatures. Some claimed to have seen “men walking on all fours“, while others described being watched by glowing

eyes in the darkness. Historians largely attribute these accounts to wartime trauma and psychological strain, but the reports remain a curious aspect of post–war records.

“Yes,” Blake said, stealing my attention. “That is what you think

it is.”

I stared at him, my mouth parted open. “Werewolves fought wars?”

“Of course,” he replied. “There have been multiple instances. where humans discovered our secret. When the officials find out, they try to kill us or capture us. Back then, werewolves were sometimes kept in cages and treated completely like animals, then used to win wars. For centuries, we have been experimented on, Lia. Been used to try and come up with cures for dangerous diseases humans catch. Even now, there are organisations out there, who capture our kind and experiment

on us. Not just to find cures to diseases, but for research and even fun. They cut up parts of our bodies and watch how long it takes for us to heal. They try to burn us, drown us, bury us alive, and torture us to find our weaknesses. This is why we keep our existence a secret. Back then we were scared. But now, as human weaponry has grown stronger, our bodies have adapted too. Very few things can hurt us, and if humans challenge us now, there are enough of us around the world to destroy everything humans hold dear to them. This is the one cause every pack of werewolves out there is united in.”

Oh my God… I never considered the possibility of any of this. I should’ve known. Since when have human beings been innocent, harmless creatures? We were as terrifying as them.

Had I revealed their existence in our town to an organisation like that?

“So you mean, you and Zane can fight anything, right?” I asked, needing that reassurance. I had to make sure that I hadn’t put them into some awful danger.

“Yes,” he replied. “The only weakness we still haven’t managed to improve is the ma–”

Someone slammed the table really loud, shutting him up. I glanced around to find Sheila glaring daggers at Blake.

“What is going on?” the teacher snapped, glaring at her.
